Not sure why all the monster smut I’m picking up just keeps being wild spunk fests, but there you have it. Picked this one up after starting Doyle’s short story in the Monsters in Love Vol 6, finding out there was a previous minotaur romance in the mix and immediately had to go find it. This was a cute little instalove novella in which the FMC discovers that magic & monsters exist (I’m currently in the middle of reading A Marvellous Light and this will now forever be called “unbusheling” as far as I’m concerned). 

However, SPOILERS, Natalie finds out that

she’s actually part-fairy, her parents have lied to her her entire life AND surprise they show up at her new monster bf’s house and… no one cares? Like she doesn’t even question it to their faces. Also she just moves to this tiny town like she has no job/ties to break in her previous life at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️
